Launching an e-business on the internet is now just a question of spending some money and a little time with a facilitator who will take care of all the finer details. But, often, the e-business, launched with much fan fare and high expectations, fails to make even a superficial ripple in the vast ocean of e-commerce in which millions of ventures vie with one another for catching the attention of potential customers. Very few are able to build a really striking and positive brand image that will keep consumers glued to their proposals and offers, in a long-term and mutually satisfying relationship.

Branding in the online world is far more than just transferring your print brand identity to the Web. Web-based communication has its own presentation-peculiarities which are basically different from what you have in the print media. It is more than adding some graphic design images. It is the interactive experience you provide your users. Of course, everybody knows that the Web allows you to build one-to-one relationships with your customers. But what is more important is the quality of those relationships. The key to success is engaging your customers and facilitating an ongoing relationship with them for a really long time, winning their complete confidence and enjoying it without any break for as long as they need your services/products.

We all have, at one time or another, been affected by both successful and unsuccessful Web-branding efforts. In short, if it isn't done correctly, it hurts a company's ability to gain and retain business through this channel and it disappoints the potential customer who may have to continue his search for a more satisfying proposal.

Here are a few points to keep in mind when thinking about the proper way to establish a strong brand identity on the Web:

With new commercial projects making their entry right through online shops and existing commercial concerns entering the internet in their quest for expansion of business, the internet is fast becoming the most popular market place.

We are offering affordable and technically flawless solutions that will enable you to start and maintain your ecommerce portal website with the minimum of fuss and bother and the assurance of starting online sales immediately.

Open on all the seven days of a week and 24 hours a day, the ecommerce website has no equal to it among the supermarkets of the world. It reaches a worldwide clientele and every client has the freedom to interact with the most authoritative spokesman of the company, the website. It is also the company’s largest wholesale and retail outlet, in most cases. An ecommerce website is therefore the most effective instrument of growth and development of your commercial venture, whatever it may be. We use the mysql database and php programme language, incorporating a php shopping cart that is stable and stout. Unlike other design companies, we do not have recourse to ‘out of the box’ solutions. Our shopping cart software is integrated into your own, exclusive and one-of-a-kind website which has been designed according to your ideas and wishes. All our ecommerce websites now have a free Google Base feed for Google Shopping.

Search Engine Optimisation is promoting a website over the internet for high rankings in search engines and optimising or getting the most attention from those who browse the internet. The content, structure, page layout and age of your website, the number of links to it, the regularity in updating, the titles and meta-tags, the submission process and the frequency of addition of new web pages are factors that affect optimisation.

It will take a minimum of three to four months for the changes to filter through into the search engines. Several months of optimising and making adjustments may go into the optimising or achieving a good search engine ranking. Though there is no guarantee of the exact final position, our experience ensures the top 20 placements for at least 70% of your key words, as can be verified from browsing the internet.

It is an e-commerce application service provider service that authorizes payments for business over the internet. It protects credit card details by encrypting sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, to ensure that information is passed securely between the customer and the merchant and also between merchant and the payment processor.

Our Small-Business Website is aimed at the client who has a very small business already running or is planning to start one in the near future. In the present business environment of globalisation and international competition even in very small and specialised areas of industry and commerce, small units of service or production need the same business tactics and instruments as the large units, albeit in a scaled-down version. However small the size of your business, a website will bring new clients to your small business and give you the opportunity to attract new clients and new business opportunities.

We ensure the highly professional touch even in a small-business website.

Knowing that you need a website is easy and simple. But deciding what it should look like and what all should make up its contents is the difficult and complex part. We have made websites from as little data as the company letterhead and product labels or service details in the telephone directory, etc. But that is just the beginning. Once the website is launched, the visitors demand more and more details and the website goes on developing content-wise necessitated by the circumstances. We shall be always with you, developing your website, adding details, changing details and revamping the whole site when that becomes necessary. We can assure a high ranking for your site in the popular search engines and thus keep your business recession-proof.

Add value to your business
Remember that your company website may be, in all probability, the first contact-point for your client with your company and the all important first impression you are to make on him cannot be shifted to anywhere else. The difference between a professional web site and a ‘home made’ web site will be too obvious to escape the attention of your discerning potential client.

For a small business concern, incurring the expenditure on account of a costly website will not be a sagacious step, whatever the advantages it may bring. We can understand that. That is why we have kept the cost for the small-business website as low as possible, at 499 USD. This is the lowest price anywhere in the world for a professional custom-made website with domain name, web hosting, ten pages of content, free graphics and stats package, optimisation for search terms, submission to Google, Bing and Yahoo and free changes within one month of hosting.

We have a wide range of solutions for the small business owner and you can contact us for any information or advice under no obligation. This is just our spontaneous mode of saying ‘thank you’ to the small business fraternity that have been always our mainstay. If you are interested, just ask for a free quote for your project or ongoing business under absolutely no obligation. Search engine optimisation, logo design and ecommerce solutions are some of our other services.

Content management is making it possible for you to update the pages of your website whenever you want and have complete control over the contents with the help of our website software. It is so simple that even a non-technically oriented mind can master it. If you can use the Microsoft Word, you can manage the content of your website using this software. You will no longer need to approach us, your designer, for getting any text or image updated or amended.

Some sites need content updating on a regular basis and it would not be feasible to get it done by the designer every time. Our web-based content management solution makes the process as easy as a-b-c. Our php content management software is very user-friendly and flexible, creating search engine friendly web addresses. It is a browser-based web page editor allowing you to add fresh pages, edit existing pages or delete unwanted pages.

By making the creation of your own pages and meta tags possible, our solution will help you rise in search engine rankings, as all search engines like to see that the sites are updated regularly and favour sites that update their content on a regular basis. Updates take effect instantly giving a fresh look to your site every time somebody revisits your site. Content management software (CMS) is one of our most appreciated and affordable services.

The web designing technologies and methodologies are fast changing and you might feel, as you visit some recently hosted sites, that your site is a bit outdated, or that there are some contents and features you would like to change or add to your site. We are always updating our capabilities and possibilities in tune with the latest trends in ecommerce web designing. We can either modify your site to make it better looking or rework your site to make it an entirely new different site in all respects.

We shall carry out replacement of text portions with more gripping prose and photos with more striking images wherever you feel these are not up to the mark and provide custom graphics and custom php programming services. Though we believe in starting every website from a ‘blank canvas’, we can rework on your existing site without removing any content or feature that you want to keep. Our excellent after-sales service policy guarantees alterations even after completion and we even carry out gratis small changes, if any, even after months since completion. Flash animations, bulletin boards and chat rooms, latest search engine optimisation techniques and submission services will be used to make your site stand out among your competitors.
